Parmigiano-Reggiano is a delicious, full-flavored eating cheese. It began life seven centuries ago in the Italian provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, part of Bologna and part of Mantua. Nature blessed this zone with the most idealistic cattle grazing land to create the unique milk from the "Zone Tripica". The local cheese craftsmen took it from there, utilizing a totally natural process that has not changed for 700 years. No additives, no machinery, no gimmicks. Just sweet, fresh milk in its pristine state, the artisan's ancient skills, and then nature's own good time (aged from 18 to 36 months). Parmigiano Reggiano Stravecchio is aged a full 36 months. At this age, it has a deeper, golden color, and has even more crunchy crystals. Full and fruity with a slightly salty tang, this cheese should be served in chunks with figs or pears or as an appetizer with aperitifs.

This is a really good Parm! It has that dry, aged cheese bite with a creamy finish. I love it for cooking and for garnish, as on salads but I like it for a little snack, too. The order came very timely. I paid for the cooler that was offered. So cute!! And with 2 reusable ice packs. As this was my first order, I have to say, I am a big fan of this company!!!

We are still talking about it

We just got back from Rome, where we did a lot of parmigiano tasting (particularly at ParmaRoma). So we wanted a really good pamigiano for home. Once this arrived and I saw its wonderful, slightly crumbly texture and tasted it, I knew it would be perfect for risotto. Its qualities inside a dish like risotto are extraordinary. Lots of taste, but the way it melts and coats the arborio rice is exquisite and so we're still talking about it. I think it's one of the best online food purchases we've made. Thank you!

Excellent Quality

I love Parmigiano Reggiano and I was frustrated by the limited selection and suspect quality of the locally available product. Through igourmet, I have access to reasonably priced, high quality cheese in a very acceptable time frame. I'll definitely reorder.
